Looking across the landscape of contemporary culture

Britain from the air

Some glorious images in this exhibition of aerial photographs of Britain now showing in Bath.

This isn't from the exhibition!

I haven’t been able to see it myself, but you can just spend five minutes watching this beautiful slideshow with commentary from the BBC website.

From glacier-carved mountain valleys to jagged saw-toothed coastlines, the UK’s diverse physical and human geography – as seen from above – is being celebrated in a new street exhibition in Bath. More than 100 colourful aerial images – showing Britain’s natural and human landscapes – are being showcased in Bath city centre. Take a look here with the Director of The Royal Geographical Society, Dr Rita Gardner.

Thank you for that Fr Stephen. Sometimes in order to really tangibly feel Gods awesomely powerful and creative presence outside of other loving people we have to look from outside the box.

There’s just something about Gods pure living sculpture of the ocean, the beautiful green land, and the eternal sky touching all our senses that comforts and reassures me, and never lets me down, where sadly my beloved humans often do.

And then one sees God shining through human creativity in a precisely busy and different way like St Pauls Cathedral or Bath Circus, all with their own beauty and monumental peace.
